Appendix A

A.1 Introduction

This appendix introduces and explains the use of the KJP translator and the jGRASP software development environment. There are two general procedures to follow for developing programs and using the KJP translator. These procedures are:

1. Working in a DOS window

2. Working with an integrated development environment (IDE), such as jGRASP

This appendix first explains how to set up and use the KJP translator in a DOS window. The latest information, sample files, and version of the KJP translator is available from the following Web page:

• http://science.Kennesaw.edu/~jgarrido/kjp.html

In the second part of this appendix, an explanation is presented on how to configure and use the jGRASP environment, which is available from Auburn University. The Web page is:

The KJP translator consists of a program that provides the following functions:

1. Syntax checking of a source program in KJP; a list of errors is displayed and written to an error file with the same name as the source program

2. Conversion of the source program in KJP to an equivalent program in Java
